CVE-2016-6718
An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Account Manager Service in Android 7.0 before 2016-11-01 could enable a local malicious application to retrieve sensitive information without user interaction.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.40%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
